"REFLECTIONS" BY ROBERT ANDES

The Weslaco Museum's March exhibition is "Reflections" by Robert Andes. The stunning art exhibition will be displayed in the museum gallery all-month long. 

Timeless, complex, and deep

"Reflections" aims to capture a frozen moment that is unremarkable on the surface but is complex when analyzed. Mr. Andes' artwork will make you feel immersed in a particular environment at a particular moment.

Business, Fun and Military Pride


Artists' Gallery

The Weslaco Museum proudly showcases artists whose works reflect the culture and spirit of our community.  Emerging or established, solo or collaborative, scholastic or self-initiated, the Artists’ Gallery features a new exhibit each month that conveys a sense of home.  Selfies with Frida, Tinaco by moonlight, portraits of conjunto musicians who brought their sounds from the fields to the radio – the Weslaco Museum celebrates the people and places and experiences that help to shape our community. 

Historical Exhibits

The historical side of the Weslaco Museum holds a number of permanent exhibits that cover our history from the prehistoric age of the dinosaurs through the 20th century, including: 

  • Geology & Fossils
  • Indigenous Americans and the Spanish Colonization
  • ​Immigration and Revolution
  • Agriculture and Economy
  • Education and Segregation
  • The Weslaco Style Show – costumes made from local fruits & vegetables
  • Military

Conservation & Research

The Weslaco Museum has an extensive collection of artifacts and archives, many of which are on regular display.  However, we have such a large collection that we cannot possibly exhibit all of our items at once.  Artifacts - objects - are kept in our storage room, cataloged into several groups: kitchen & housewares; cameras; clothing, hats & shoes; military & civic duty; geology; as well as several others.  Archives - papers and documents - are kept in our records room.  Artifacts and archives are made available for research to those individuals who submit a formal request.

Pay with PayPal or a debit/credit card

The mission of the Weslaco Museum is to collect, preserve, exhibit and promote the history, cultural arts, and past traditions of Weslaco, Texas, and its surrounding region.
